And they wouldn't be wrong.

Wha?? No offense lad, but try to post in plain English. Posting reams of turgid, pseudo profound scutter doesn't impress anyone. Some folk can pull it off convincingly, but you ain't one of them. No, I'm not a Catholic, or a Christian of some other hue, because I reject the metaphysical...

You assume a lot about me. As it happens I'm very open to the extraphysical and the idea that the universe has some purpose that we're all inexorably driven towards. Furthermore I'm not a materialist and I think that there's very compelling evidence that consciousness survives bodily death...

"Dude?" Another Gen Zer reared by the Disney channel. Pathetic. Now do me a favour and stop scuttering all over my thread, there's a good lad.

I would say you're clutching at straws, but at this stage they've long since been swept up into the ether.

The irony of being accused of being under the influence by a bloke evidently hammered -- on a Tuesday evening.

Lusty, it's ok to admit that you're out of your depths. I thought humility was a Christian virtue?

:unsure: An odd reply from a very odd man.

All I can say, if this thread has some of you rattled, wait until you see what I have lined up :D

Temper temper. It's 'metaphorical' when it suits you; at least try to be consistent. But I suspect this has gone over your head. Lusty, no offense, but I think you'd be better off sticking to discussing the wendy ball with the other gobsh1tes on the estate. Really? If that's the case, why...

Really? The observation that newer belief systems typically emerge from older ones is "makey uppy wankery"? And there was me thinking it was a perfectly reasonable expectation based on even the most cursory understanding of human cultures and the pattern of history. The 'interpolation' is...

And? They're all different from each other. But in many other respects they're all identical, in particular their overt mythological character. The OT is no different in it's basic structure from any of the other contemporaneous mythologies. I can only surmise that those who would suggest...

And in Christianity. Scholasticism in particular seemed to centre around reconciling Yahweh with Aristotle's first mover. All a vain effort to dodge the inconvenient fact that Yahweh was no different in character from any of the Homeric gods.

Btw I'd highly recommend her book "God: an anatomy".

A fascinating interview with Francesa Stavrakopoulou (I had to copy and paste that surname 😄) View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMQciYeDHU0 Here are some of the key points from the video (courtesy of google gemini in case you're wondering): The God of the Bible was originally a...

Hilarious stuff, Lusty. Any chance of an actual critique? Just a reminder, as even Zipporah mentions, he mentions nothing outside of mainstream scholarship. He quotes sources throughout and was even kind enough to provide a recommended reading list. sure, If... Well, since he lacks a time...

I'm part of a devious WEF plan to hide the truth about the moon being made from compressed blobs of Mozzarella.

Check the recommended reading list in the video descriptions. I'm not here to spoonfeed you. Although, I don't think there's any pop-up picture books, so you might struggle a bit.

And?
